The Hna Phage Defence Protein: A DNA‐Stimulated Helicase With Cryptic Nuclease Activity

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
The Hna (Helicase‐nuclease Abi) phage defence system consists of a single protein and provides defence through abortive infection. We show that Hna's abortive infection response can be recreated in a heterologous host upon expression of phage single‐stranded DNA binding protein (SSB) and present a characterization of Hna's biochemical activity.

Type IV‐Dominated Plasmid‐Encoded CRISPR‐Cas Systems Are Enriched in Multireplicon and Multi‐Stressor Resistance Plasmids Across the Global Plasmidome

open access: yesMolecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Screening 72,555 plasmid sequences reveals that intact CRISPR‐Cas systems are rare (1.03%) but strongly enriched in multireplicon and multi‐stressor resistance plasmids, with Type IV‐A as the dominant subtype. These findings implicate plasmid‐encoded CRISPR‐Cas as non‐randomly retained elements of structurally complex and high‐risk backbones.

Urban ants as potential mechanical vectors of pathogenic and antibiotic‐resistant bacteria in a Brazilian hospital

open access: yesMedical and Veterinary Entomology, EarlyView.
Nine ant taxa were identified in a Brazilian hospital, with Tapinoma melanocephalum and Dorymyrmex brunneus being the most abundant. Eighty‐five percent of collected ants yielded detectable bacterial growth, including clinically relevant genera such as Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Escherichia coli and Pluralibacter.

Rethinking the soil core microbiome

open access: yesNew Phytologist, EarlyView.
Soil microbiome studies often define ‘core microbiomes’ using different operational criteria, including occurrence thresholds, abundance thresholds, or other selection methods. Using 1813 soil samples collected across four U.S. Department of Energy Bioenergy Research Centers, we show that these different operational choices identify different subsets ...
